Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - Out of the Hat!
October through April, 2025 - 2026
Out of the Hat! - Readers’ Theatre Series
What’s "Out of the Hat!?” It’s a fresh, compact production with a rehearsal time of one day and performed that same night. The play, the director, the cast are all picked "out of the hat" so to speak -- this makes it fresh and exciting.
It goes like so ... we gather at 11:00am to read the chosen play -- many of us for the first time. After a first read, the director for the play retires to cast the show. Once done, the group works to put the play on its feet with the result being an outstanding and very fresh performance at 6pm.
Come to read and play at 11:00am or come to watch it that evening. Admission is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
Interested in reading? We would love to have you! To read, you will need yourself, writing utensils, dark clothes, a potluck, energy and a penchant for fun.
Please message Meetinghouse Theatre Lab on Facebook or e-mail Cathy at cathyjohnson2012@hotmail.com if you would like to be a part of the day's production.

Coffeehouse Performance: Chris Ross
Chris Ross
Join Hancock native Chris Ross for an evening of songs and stories in lovely Hammond Hall.
Chris Ross has been writing and performing his songs on the coast of Maine for nearly 20 years. This venue provides a unique and intimate opportunity to hear them (and some of the stories behind them) as they were meant to be heard.
Ross has spent years tucked away on the coast of Maine developing his voice as a writer. Inside the arsenal of tracks he’s penned, one finds dangerous, hard-hitting reflections; stories of love, life and longing. Tinted with an appetite for self-destruction, his writing style is smooth and eloquent while remaining sincere to genuine grit of experience. A landscape of song much like Maine itself: humble yet dramatic, severe yet sweet, cold and resonant with a nearby fire throwing heat.

Tim and Bonnie
Tim Joy and Bonnie Guerrette light up the stage with bluegrass, folk, and classic country favorites along with Tim's rendition of Bert and I Downeast humor. Their harmonies and joyful energy create an unforgettable celebration of down-home fun.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab presents: The Gods of Comedy by Ken Ludwig
Meetinghouse Theatre Lab presents: The Gods of Comedy by Ken Ludwig
Described as "...a very funny, Mel-Brooksian romp through academia, Greek mythology, and personal empowerment…", Ken Ludwig’s The Gods of Comedy has razor-sharp wit, absurd misunderstandings, and an escalating chaos that would make even Zeus shake his head.
Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery that's sure to turn them into academic superstars. But something goes disastrously wrong, and Daphne cries out in a panic, "Save me, gods of ancient Greece!"…and the gods actually appear! As it turns out, she has summoned Dionysius, a god of comedy, (but also the god of wine and partying), and Thalia, the muse of comedy. The gods are eager to help, but they’re Greek gods, and so their help is not the straightforward, efficient kind a simple human might hope for. The Ivy League will never be the same as this pair of screwball, albeit well-meaning, deities encounters the carnal complexity of college co-eds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.
Cast (in order of appearance): Michael McFarland, Jaimie Paige, Cathy Johnson, Marc Bellenoit, Rick Andrew, Frank John, Seeta John, Shelly Curtain.

Fused Glass - Organic Burnout
Fused Glass - Organic Burnout
Organic Burnout technique, sometimes referred to as "Fossil Vitra", consists of layering glass powder directly on leaves (or other organic material) and placing the powder-coated leaves under a sheet of glass. When fired in a kiln, the organic material burns away and the glass powder is fused to the base sheet of glass. This base sheet is then "slumped" into a functional object.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - Out of the Hat!
October through April, 2025 - 2026
Out of the Hat! - Readers’ Theatre Series
What’s "Out of the Hat!?” It’s a fresh, compact production with a rehearsal time of one day and performed that same night. The play, the director, the cast are all picked "out of the hat" so to speak -- this makes it fresh and exciting.
It goes like so ... we gather at 11:00am to read the chosen play -- many of us for the first time. After a first read, the director for the play retires to cast the show. Once done, the group works to put the play on its feet with the result being an outstanding and very fresh performance at 6pm.
Come to read and play at 11:00am or come to watch it that evening. Admission is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.
Interested in reading? We would love to have you! To read, you will need yourself, writing utensils, dark clothes, a potluck, energy and a penchant for fun.
Please message Meetinghouse Theatre Lab on Facebook or e-mail Cathy at cathyjohnson2012@hotmail.com if you would like to be a part of the day's production.
February’s Reading: The War of the Worlds by Orson Welles
The War of the Worlds was a Halloween episode of the radio series The Mercury Theatre on the Air which was broadcast live on October 30, 1938 over the CBS Radio Network. The episode was directed and narrated by Orson Welles as an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds and is infamous for inciting a panic by convincing some members of the listening audience that a Martian invasion was actually taking place.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab - “Cold $torage” by Dustin Sleight - A Staged Reading
Meetinghouse Theatre Lab will present a staged reading of “Cold $torage” by Dustin Sleight of Portland, Maine, winner of its 7th annual playwriting competition.
Cold $torage is a fast-paced and dark comedic farce that satirizes our modern obsessions with technology, consumerism, and corporate influence.
Set in "Joe's Diner" in Portland, Maine, the play unfolds over a single day, revealing the chaos that ensues when Joe's attempt at a secret money-making scheme begins to go off the rails.
Through quirky characters and an ever-growing level of absurdity, the play offers a humorous take on our short attention spans and growing reliance on new technologies.
Joe’s handle on controlling the chaos steadily unravels as the kinetic pace hurtles the cast and audience through a playful yet pointed exploration of the absurdities of modern life.
The staged reading of Cold $torage will be directed by Mark Lancaster. Mr. Sleight will attend the workshop and watch as his piece is brought to life. There will be a small wine and cheese reception afterwards and a brief talk-back with the audience.
The playwright's reading always takes a slight departure from the usual Out of the Hat workshop format in that it will be pre-cast with a rehearsal prior to the workshop and performance date.
Admission is free but donations gratefully accepted.
Contains adult language.
Playwright Bio:
Dustin Sleight is an engineer by day and an aspiring writer by night, currently living in Portland, Maine. After moving to southern Maine in 2015, he has gradually adapted to the concept of enjoying "beach days" by stockpiling sunscreen and investing in quality beach umbrellas. His favorite pastimes include the perpetual build-out of his at home music studio, books, movies, and spending time in the great outdoors. The first draft of his play "Cold $torage" was selected for a reading at the Northern Writes New Play Festival in 2011 and most recently his short story "RIP Mrs. Crawford" won first prize at the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance Crime Flash-Fiction writing contest. Dustin is thrilled to have the latest revision of the play selected for the MHTL Maine Playwright Award.

One Man Show of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
One Man Show of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
We invite you this holiday season to share our presentation of a one-man show of Charles Dickens', A Christmas Carol, at Hammond Hall in Winter Harbor and help support the Schoodic Food Pantry (see details below).
“Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. Old Marley was as dead as a doornail.”
So begins A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Some say this short story (first published in 1843) transformed Christmas into a major holiday. The tale has inspired movies, operas, readings and countless stage performances around the globe.
Veteran actor Tim Pugliese makes the stage vibrate with his interpretation of Dickens’ Holiday tale. In an impressive tour-de-force Pugliese moves about the stage as he recounts this classic story and plays all the parts - by himself. You’ll find yourself looking at characters that aren’t really there, but you will see them in your mind, just as surely as Pugliese himself does. This form of story-telling is fun for the whole family.
Adapted for stage and directed by Shari John
Bring a non-perishable food donation for The Schoodic Food Pantry. For every person who contributes, an anonymous donor will give $2 to the Pantry.
Donna Harmon will work her magic and provide wonderful baked goods for the refreshment table and bake sale! All refreshment donations and proceeds from the bake sale to benefit the Schoodic Food Pantry.
Also showing on: Saturday, December 13 at 7pm!
Tickets: $20 suggested donation, free for children 12 and under.
